August 07, 2025 The St. Louis Cardinals LIED About Their “Runway Season”
The St. Louis Cardinals promised 2025 would be a “runway season,” focused on developing young talent for the future.

Bernie unloads on the front office, blasts the veteran favoritism, and demands the Cardinals stop insulting fans’ intelligence with clever marketing buzzwords.

August 06, 2025 The St. Louis Cardinals Might Trade Nolan Gorman… and That’s INSANE!
Bernie dives into the polarizing topic of Nolan Gorman’s future with the St. Louis Cardinals.

Bernie breaks down Gorman’s under-the-radar improvements, exposes the Cardinals’ defensive double standards, and asks the big question: Would they really trade him? And if they do… will he be the next slugger to haunt them from afar?

He debunks the 40-man roster excuse and says Wetherholt must be called up by September 1 to help reignite fan interest and kickstart the rebuild under Chaim Bloom.
